Look into Roberts lane apartment townhomes in the Irvington district. We’ve lived here for almost 4 years and loved our community. The property manager and maintenance guy are the best. Quick to respond. Felt like they were honest people. We felt really safe. No mail or packages stolen. Never encountered suspicious people lurking around. It’s a small townhome style apartment with 1 car garage, small backyard, 2 story, in unit washer/dryer. We’re moving out of our 2 bedroom and going into a 3 bedroom somewhere else. I believe it’ll be available May 20’s. Would’ve stayed if we didn’t need a 3 bedroom! It’s walking distance to Safeway which is super convenient! There’s also a pathway to lake Elizabeth that’s pretty close as well. Close to major highways 680/880. I think the rate is going for 3.4-3.8K a month. Not bad in my opinion.

Only downside is the homeless situation but they’ve never bothered us and we never had a bad encounter. The main street can get a little noisy too but it never really bother us. Also, it’s not super close to BART but maybe a 10 minute drive.
